Are you thinking about getting another one or like Chad just kind of trusting himself and making space for the memory of Pete. He had Pete for quite a while and then he had to have surgery surgery that made him hard to keep his bathroom habits that were harder for him too maintain shall we say. A lot of emergencies and messes that just made the dog and Chad\u2018s life miserable. That dog\u2018s only crime was eating a entire box of dog treats. I never got to meet Petey, but I\u2019ve heard lots of good stories.<div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Ericka Nelson</div><div>K E9DYN</div><div>Proud general class him license owner</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Oct 22, 2025, at 5:57\u202fPM, henry osborne jr via NFB-Blind-Crafters <nfb-blind-crafters@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">\ufeff<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

I am grateful that we got to meet the daffodil a couple of times. She was so sweet and still wanted to guide her daddy. He never technically worked her, but took her places as much as he could.
